After an illegal alien with a criminal history working as a school superintendent in Des Moines was arrested by ICE, instead of being concerned about how he was hired, MSNBC hosts Alex Witt and Rachel Maddow presented the case sympathetically toward him, with Maddow even lauding him as "beloved."

On Saturday afternoon, MSNBC host Alex Witt gave no pushback when Congresswoman Julie Johnson (D-TX) responded to a terrorist attack on ICE agents in her state by seeming to justify it as she accused agents of "terroristic" behavior. She also seemed to call the attack part of "a generalized frustration" against ICE's "unreasonable clampdown" and "a response to an outrage."

On Sunday afternoon, MSNBC host Alex Witt and contributor Molly Jong-Fast fretted over the Donald Trump administration conducting an airstrike on a Venezuelan boat believed to be hauling drugs. Jong-Fast went on to dismiss President Trump's efforts to fight anti-Semitism in higher education and claimed that he is targeting Chicago crime against the wishes of the state's Democratic leaders…

Appearing as a guest on MSNBC Reports Thursday afternoon, MSNBC weekend anchor Jonathan Capehart compared school fears of immigration agents to fear of school shootings. He went on to claim that immigration agents are "snatching people up off the streets whether they are citizens or not without a care, it seems, for due process or the rule of law."

Democrats and their corporate media allies like to quietly redefine political terms to suit their needs. Threats to “democracy” are really threats to the entrenched, unaccountable, left-of-center bureaucracy; “misinformation,” along with its “dis-” and “mal-” cousins, is any fact or narrative that is inconvenient for the political left; and basically anyone or anything who runs afoul of the…

With the networks having had over a decade to prepare their graphics and obituary packages for former President Jimmy Carter, the Georgian’s death Sunday at 100 years old came as no surprise (despite having been under hospice care for years) and thus the broadcast and cable networks merely had to dust off their files and hit play. In the first 45 minutes since the Carter Center announced his…

As per new Nielsen Media Research data from this weekend, MSNBC’s precipitous ratings decline hit a new low when the 28-year-old network has fallen behind NewsNation, which has only been around three years and added around-the-clock news programming on June 1. On Saturday, NewsNation topped MSNBC in the key 25-54 demographic for a total of six hours with the noon Eastern hour and then from 2:…

The following are just some of the most heinous examples of broadcast and cable reporters and hosts actually criticizing Trump in the immediate days after the second attempt on the President’s life.

In the immediate aftermath of a second attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump in 9 weeks, with the shooter’s barrel not yet cold there are already efforts to blame Trump for getting shot at.

In a bit of legal analysis better suited for The View, MSNBC’s Alex Witt suggested on Thursday that pro-life laws violate the First Amendment’s Establishment Clause as she guest hosted Thursday’s edition of Andrea Mitchell Reports.

Over the last few weeks as a bill made its way through the Tennessee legislature to permit local areas to decide whether to let teachers concealed carry firearms to deter mass shooters, several MSNBC hosts found it "shocking" and brought on one or more of their favorite far-left Democrats from the Tennessee state legislature to smear Republicans and even push conspiracy theories.

This past weekend, CNN and MSNBC found themselves in the awkward position of having to defend Representative Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who on Saturday afternoon pulled a House office building fire alarm during a vote. While some journalists on these networks have uncomfortably questioned Bowman’s excuse that he pulled the alarm by “accident,” the more partisan among them have been trying…

MSNBC PoliticsNation host Al Sharpton reacted on the “Trump court” striking down affirmative action on Thursday with, even by his standards, a long list of absurdities. Sharpton would claim the move was akin to “sticking a dagger in our back,” claimed his opponents believe black people are genetically inferior, and equated the decision with the arrest of Rosa Parks.

The word "controversial" can be wielded very deliberately to define what liberal journalists don't like. This week, it was Title 42, the "controversial Trump-era border restriction."
